A former ship docking facility is the site for the home of the Miami Heat. This 19,000-seat, state-of-the-art arena overlooks Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. Langan provided subsurface investigations to identify the conditions of the site and based upon this information new foundation recommendations were developed.

The Atlantic Yards project consists of the redevelopment of six city blocks in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, NY and includes the Barclays Center, an entertainment center and new home arena of the Brooklyn Nets. Langan served as the geotechnical engineer for the arena and high-rise structures at the Vanderbilt Yard. In addition, Langan's site-specific seismic study resulted in a favorable seismic designation, thus avoiding unnecessary seismic detailing and connections, and more importantly, foundation ties – which saved millions of dollars.

This project involved the demolition of the existing Giants Stadium, which was an 80,242-seat open-air stadium originally constructed in 1976. The project was challenged by poor subsurface conditions, numerous existing site utilities within the existing stadium footprint, presence of asbestos and hazardous materials within the stadium, proximity to the recently constructed MetLife Stadium, and the need to demolish the existing stadium while operating the new stadium and utility infrastructure that serves the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

Lincoln Financial Field, home stadium of the Philadelphia Eagles, seats 69,000. Langan was retained to assist with stadium improvements, including seating expansion, suite and amenity enhancements, exterior plaza and gate enhancements. We designed two new stormwater bioretention areas which manage over 1,800 cf of stormwater, and a new 15,000 sf pedestrian plaza paved with porous pavement, as part of a strategy to implement green stormwater management.
